"Stay! Stay!"
Published Apr 25, 2005
I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the Super Wal-Mart Shopping Center and rolled down the car windows to make sure my Labrador Retriever Pup had fresh air.
She was stretched full-out on the back seat and I wanted to impress upon her that she must remain there. I walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me?" "Stay! Stay!"
The driver of a nearby car, a pretty blond young lady, gave me a strange look and said,
"Why don't you just put it in park?"
Editors Note: Funny Joke, but you should NEVER leave any aged dog or any small children unattended in a vehicle. Even on a cool day the tempeture can rise into the triple digits very quickly. Just don't do it.
